Has your participation in the S.T.A.R.S. changed your career outlook, and if so how? - Week #10

14. May 2010 by KVaughn.

·         I am now looking for a job I will “ENJOY” rather than a job that pays well and brings the finer things in life.

·         It has made me look at many more job options like underwater welding, rescue diver/safety services, and even marine biologist.

·         My dream of becoming a photographer has expanded to include perhaps an oceanographer and a Divemaster.

·         A Divemaster/Dive guide job would be cool at a dive shop.

·         My original interest in being a vet now includes photography where I can show others what animals they are missing… tied into diving.

·         S.T.A.R.S. participation has encouraged me to take on a more physical job that I was planning, like Law Enforcement Officer, Conservation Officer, Forest Ranger, and maybe even a Technical Diver.

·         Yes, and No.  I have decided to pursue being a marine biologist because I want to learn more about this world under the water… however my interest in becoming a lawyer is still real.

·         The involvement in scuba diving has driven me to consider the space program and being an astronaut as scuba diving is a requirement.

·         My aspirations of becoming a doctor are expanded to include some part-time work in diving.  Diving is something I definitely want to continue.  Scuba Diving Rocks!

·         Although I like scuba, I still want to be a teacher….. Scuba may offer me a chance to become a diving instructor as it has driven me to be more open.

·         My career outlook is still unchanged, but I now have a valuable skill that makes me marketable and I can choose a field in the future.

·         My desired career now includes not only being a Marine in the armed forces, but a Navy Seal of Search and Rescue.

·         Although my career is set I would love to get involved in volunteering and marine preservation.
